Stellest® Lenses — Myopia Control Built Into Ordinary-Looking Glasses

Watching your child’s prescription climb every year is unsettling — especially once you learn what that growth actually means for their eyes long after childhood ends. Stellest® lenses were built to change that trajectory, not just correct today’s blur.

What Are Stellest® Lenses?

Stellest® lenses are FDA-authorized spectacle lenses developed by Essilor specifically to slow myopia progression in children ages 6–12. They look and wear exactly like standard eyeglass lenses — no insertion, no daily maintenance, no adjustment period beyond a normal new-glasses fitting.

How H.A.L.T. Technology Works

Each Stellest® lens combines a clear central zone for sharp everyday vision with a precisely arranged pattern of aspherical lenslets across the periphery. That lenslet pattern creates controlled myopic defocus — a signal that helps slow the elongation of the eye responsible for worsening prescriptions, while the central zone keeps vision crisp for school, sports, and screens.

Who Should Consider Stellest®?

• Children ages 6–12 with a prescription that has increased in each of the last 1–2 exams

• Children who already wear glasses and aren’t ready for daily contact lens wear

• Families who want continuous, all-day correction without inserting or removing anything

• Children for whom Ortho-K or MiSight aren’t a fit due to comfort, allergy, or lifestyle

The MEC Difference

We don’t just dispense Stellest® lenses and send families on their way. Every child on our myopia management program gets a structured evaluation, prescription-trend review, and scheduled monitoring visits so we can confirm the lenses are doing their job — not just guess. Families from Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Troy, and Royal Oak travel to Madison Heights for exactly this level of oversight.

Backed by Objective Monitoring

Every Stellest® patient is tracked on the Topcon MYAH, an advanced optical biometer that measures axial length — the true physical growth of the eye and the most reliable sign of whether myopia is progressing. It's how we confirm the lenses are working, visit over visit, not just how the prescription looks on paper.

Which Path Is Right for Your Child?

Every child is different. Let Dr. Wong assess your child’s prescription trend, lifestyle, and candidacy — then recommend the treatment most likely to succeed for your family.
